First Family Holiday

Kai just after his first ever amusement park ride. Not quite sure why this pose, but he was right impressed with the whole event

Luca in his glory on the 'horsie' ride!!

Malachi in command of his first ever motorized vehicle. A good day for him all in all.

The family on top of Sulphur Mountain. The whole way up Luca kept yelling: "Up a Mountain, Up a Mountain!!"

The unbelievable view from the top!!

This is where Luca decided it was 'bight' and that he just HAD to wear my shades.

Malachi was none to impressed with the loud singing going on at this fabulous authentic Mexican Restaurant in downtown Calgary.

We had just eaten lunch beside some big, ugly, stinky camels.

We were exceptionally blessed when my parents, knowing the stress we had faced after losing the baby, offered to pay all the gas to join them on a holiday to Alberta. We did all the typical sight seeing things, and Malachi, with his larger than life personality, loved every minute of it. He declared that he wanted to be on holidays forever. My little Luca near broke my heart when after three days he begged on and off to 'go home, i go home. mommy home' This was usually when he was at the point of exhaustion. The other moments he was quite happy because he had his Papa. He has this strange obsession with an older mustached man, but the majority of his obsession is fixated on his papa. First thing his little eyes would snap open he would be asking for papa. I felt bad for my dad, who had Luca permanently attached to him at all times. He couldn't eat a meal, or visit the washroom without Luca in tow. (I know he secretly does enjoy the love and adoration of our wee 2 year old!) We were able to see my brother John's apartment for this first time, of which he is exceptionally proud. All in all, we returned home beyond exhausted but with a head and heart full of new memories. I will share just a few small snapshots of our time away.
